• Duessel performs extremely well as an Enemy Phase unit, as his Obsidian Lance gives him a significant boost to his damage output and durability due to the debuffs it inflicts on foes as well as it’s guaranteed follow-up attack. Coupled with his naturally high Attack and good defenses, Duessel can easily tank and KO many offensive threats during Enemy Phase, and Distant Counter makes him a significant threat to a plethora of ranged units as well.
• Lull Atk/Def is Duessel’s best choice of B slot, negating his foe’s Attack and Defense buffs in addition to debuffing their Attack and Defense by 3, giving him extra staying power and damage output.
• Pulse Smoke is a fantastic C slot skill for Enemy Phase units due to it’s ability to slow down enemy Specials, but it can be freely swapped according to the team’s needs.
• Lastly, sacred seals such as Atk/Def Solo and Distant Def round out Duessel’s kit nicely due to the additional stats they provide.

• Duessel makes his debut in Fire Emblem Heroes as a lance cavalier with solid stats and a great personal weapon that allows him to perform well on both offense and defense.
• Duessel’s Obsidian Lance is the source of his power, as it inflicts a -6 Attack and Defense debuff to foes in combat in addition to granting him a guaranteed follow-up Attack on both phases as long as he’s not adjacent to an ally.
• Duessel’s innate Bonfire is a fantastic Special option, giving him a massive burst of damage when it triggers thanks to scaling off his excellent Defense.
• Atk/Def Solo 4 synergizes brilliantly with Duessel’s Obsidian Lance, granting him even more stats during combat for the simple condition of not being adjacent to any allies. Heavy Blade 4 is also a solid option, thanks to Duessel’s incredibly high Attack, giving him an additional 5 True Damage and accelerating his Special activations when his Attack is higher than the foe’s. Death Blow can also be used to good effect on a budget.
• Duessel’s innate Lull Atk/Def is a great option as it gives him additional durability and damage output while negating his foe’s visible Attack and Defense buffs.
• Rouse Atk/Def is a solid option for Duessel, but it can be freely swapped according to the team’s needs.
• Finally, the Atk/Def Solo sacred seal rounds out Duessel’s kit nicely, granting him even more offensive power while increasing his defense when he’s not adjacent to any allies. Duessel can also use the Heavy Blade sacred to accelerate his Special activations if unused in the A slot.
